Media Bullies

A couple of days ago Sushma Swaraj trashed a columnist (Coomi Kapoor) for writing bogus gossip and trash about her. I guess the growing irrelevance of many media persons has left them floundering on what to do with their petty jobs. The junkets and free lunches are gone. The Golgappas are gone. The waltz through the corridors of power is gone. Even Ahmed Patel is gone from those corridors. And the hitjobs on ModiSarkar and his ministers keep on coming. Of course, some ministers of ModiSarkar deserve a fair share of blame for sucking up to these same media morons almost every single day and in over 2 years of govt, the BJP does not really have a strategy on altering public discourse.

Be that as it may, the fraudulent media has gone beyond mere politically-coloured reporting and falsehoods to tinkering with national security itself. The formidable support for Pakis, their terrorists, the Kashmir terrorists and Paki creeps in Bollywood has stood them naked far more than ever before. Take a look at this Commie deprived of any intelligence (a qualification for being a journo I suppose):

Some media guy in Pak is being harassed for his reports but this Jacob of CNN18 behaves as if the Indian govt is no different and is whining like a victim. He finds false equivalence in general to target GOI when other than Indira Gandhi no govt has ever throttled media. Yes, these anti-Hindu poodles do live in “troubled times” having lost all the crumbs thrown at them by the previous Congress govt. They now have to “earn” their food and thus flows their contempt for everything about India or the GOI even when it concerns an enemy. In fact, the BJP govt has been extremely “tolerant” of the filth most of the MSM throws at them.

It is in the context of Pakistan, terrorism and Manohar Parrikar’s admission that there were security lapses in Uri which cost lives in the terror attack which raises some questions about ModiSarkar and its policies with some media folks freely roaming around army camps, LOC and conflict zones. This becomes all the more prominent when a known Paki-sympathiser and Wani-type terrorist-sympathiser like Barkha Dutt is allowed a free run at army camps, conflict zones, LOC and around our key security locations. She has a history of bogus reporting like a Bollywood actress on fire, including her histrionics during the 26/11 carnage. That was one of her most shameful moments other than the Kargil reporting which is still surrounded by controversies. Take a look at the embedded hatred in the tweets when she deliberately communalises an attack to protect ISI or Pak terrorists:

In reality, her only sources are her “Alice in Wonderland” imagination or some silly “Ankit from IIT” based on which she concocts and tweets garbage all the time from or about conflict zones and terrorism. That she glorified Burhan Wani was a cue even Pak PM Nawaz Sharif took and hailed him as a great leader at the UN. Then there is her great “Commander” called Hafiz Saeed who was all praises for her work in Kashmir. And when Hafiz “Saab” praises some reporter it should leave no doubt whose work she indirectly facilitates. There are a number of cases where she has leaked information stupidly and GOI had even issued a notice to NDTV over the Pathankot attacks in January 2016 because of her irresponsible reporting. Post the Uri attacks there have been at least 3 more terror attacks in Kashmir. And this woman goes around tweeting and reporting from sensitive zones as if she’s on a picnic doing a song and dance with soldiers with some Bollywood “Item girl”:

She moves around with electronic gadgets, cameras and stuff and in this day and age there is enough technology to locate her silly movements and those of the Jawans. By some strange coincidence after her tweets on the Chenab river being a possible terrorist route, some terrorists seem to have taken the river-route in the recent incident at the EDI building:

Apparently, the GOI is sleeping or someone in the GOI is deliberately allowing this woman to walk around and have access to these sensitive locations. I suspect either a senior minister or a senior Babu is allowing this farcical crap to continue. The nation faces a serious terror threat and sensitive areas should be the last ones to be seen on TV. Others who watched her show on the “Borderline” nonsense even remarked that she asked silly questions to Jawans about their hours of duty, their shift timings and so on. For whose benefit are these dumb questions? This is not peace time on the LOC for such stories on TV. Obviously, Hafiz Saeed & Co. would be delighted to hear such stories from their “sources” in India. It is shameful that the GOI allows this criminal farce to continue and there is no doubt our soldiers are the ones who will end up paying a price:

A couple of news sites like Satyavijayi and PostcardNews inferred through other reports that the manner of recent terror strikes (3 in 20 days after the Uri attack) may be linked to the reports and tweets of Barkha and many of us have tweeted the report and questioned the wisdom of GOI allowing “Story-tellers” near conflict zones. As is her wont, Barkha immediately threatened a woman (Amrita Bhinder) on Twitter for merely tweeting one of the articles. She warned of criminal defamation case as if anybody cares two hoots for her silly threats. Only a coward issues such threats:

Barkha would do well to remember the international-thrashing she got for her frivolous reporting of 26/11 and her threats against Chaitanya Kunte. And then, playing “Cabinet-broker” in the infamous Radiagate scandal, she washed herself clean with her own clean chits. Vinod Mehta has written in his autobiography that she begged Arun Jaitley not to bring up her name in Radiagate in the Parliament. In any other democracy she would be behind bars for Cabinet-brokering, which incidentally is illegal in India. After such serious offences she has the gall to threaten ordinary folks with defamation as if anybody gives a damn about her threats. She has to realise that playing victim has a price and I am sure she knows the rotten reports she peddles. If she ever does sue someone she would also be well aware of the muck of her bogus journalism that would come out in the open.

In a recent talk with students I was asked why would these people bother when they have earned a good pile of money. The answer is simple – Their loss of power and relevance hurts them more. Barkha and some of her clan have reached levels of insanity and frustration in their doldrums and end up pouring scorn on ordinary people. Their filth is exposed bare almost every single day on Twitter. There are other media tyrants like her who are now cowering in some corner and even ranting at employers of individuals on the SM. Such is their desperation.

Nobody cares what Barkha does anymore. She Rajdeep and their Hammam are as naked as it can possibly get. That they spread lies about the GOI, their anti-national stands, Pak-pimping is also not a mountain anyway. They talk what money makes them talk. It is the GOI that should now protect our borders and security zones from those who are likely to put our soldiers at most risk. As for Barkha, her cowardice and hypocrisy cannot be better explained than her own stupid tweet about Pakis in Bollywood:

Barkha should learn it is not courage to pick on ordinary folks on SM and not threaten them like a COWARD. If you have guts, pick on the news sites. Even better than that, sue Arnab Goswami for calling out your treachery, pseudo-secularism and whining for Burhan Wani instead of ranting and whining on Twitter and Facebook. Else go fly a kite. Media bullies will not be tolerated any more than the terrorists of Pakistan or their sympathisers in India.

Army Vs AntiNationals

It is one thing to constantly gripe about the GOI, our systems or even PM Narendra Modi. Those remain within the realms of our internal squabbles and politics. To me, anti-nationals are those who strengthen the hands of our enemies. Enemies that have sworn to destroy India. You could call them “Misologists”. They have a predominant hatred for reason, logic and knowledge. So much that these anti-nationals would even go to the extent of distrusting a public statement by our Army DGMO over the surgical strikes at terror-camps across the LOC on September 29.

Conspiracy theories have been around us for ages. For decades many Americans have claimed the moon-landing in 1969 was a hoax. That the whole moon-landing thing was faked and choreographed in New Mexico just to show US was ahead of USSR in its space programme. There are many in the US that claimed 9/11 was orchestrated by their own govt to benefit the military-business-oil complex. There are also theories and documents claimed that Franklin Roosevelt knew about the Pearl Harbour attack but allowed it to happen so that US could join the war.

In India we have many conspiracy theories about the death of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose and Lal Bahadur Shastri. Belief in these theories depend a lot on how much damage it can politically cause. In the case of 9/11, many in Al Qaeda and in Pakistan claimed the conspiracy theories as evidence that the US bombed itself. Not very differently, there were those in India who were tweeting about the “timing” of the Uri attacks claiming it was timed just before the UNGA. Conveniently, Pak too picked up on these theories to claim the Uri attack was orchestrated by GOI. Post the surgical strikes, the usual suspects and Paki stooges in India were quiet for a while. But they couldn’t hold on too long to rake up bogus issues for their darling sponsors. Here’s among the worst of the lot:

And promptly the Paki Tribune carries Kejriwal’s soundbite to further their claim of “Zero loss” like one of our politicians did over the 2G scam. AK is famous for indirectly defending Paki terrorists, be it the Batla guys or Kashmiri terrorists or the current LOC issues. He claims Pak is indulging in propaganda so govt should clarify. Since when is Paki propaganda new to us? And who are those fuelling Paki propaganda through their utterances in India? We have known them long enough. And in the current case, AK found a great opportunity to cover up AAPs rapes, molestations, scams and corruption by throwing a spanner in the integrity and record of our Army. Gaurav Sawant points out who are the junket-loving foreign journalists sponsored by Pak to carry out fake stories:

The Indian Army is not a “terrorist army” that operates like the Pak army. Our army would not carry out acts that it won’t own up. Immediately after the strikes our DGMO Lt. Gen. Ranbir Singh called up his Paki counterpart to inform him of what action was taken. Pak too claimed it had lost soldiers:

The Pakis closed airspace at multiple locations fearing the surgical strike. They were quite aware of the possibility but not the surprise surgical attack. To echo AK were none other than Congis and media stooges. Here’s one who thinks GOI should share evidence with these ranters as if they have some divine entitlement to it.

Yes, according to Shekhar Gupta, the GOI should share evidence with the same people who bat for Pak and separatists and ensure more info is leaked to Pakis. The anti-nationals in India pose as big a danger to our security and army as do the Paki terrorists. Even Nawaz Sharif threatened action against India after the strikes. He called an emergency Cabinet-meet and also an emergency parliament session to deal with the situation. The message has been clearly sent to Pak that Indian army and GOI will no more tolerate terrorism and it needs to send the same message to the anti-nationals. Much to the chagrin of these army-haters, an Indian Express article carried more info on the strikes based on eye-witnesses across LOC:

The IE article by Praveen Swami (a normally cynical person when it comes to our army and PM Modi) writes about multiple terror-camps destroyed by our army. The article also grandly claims IE also had “classified documents” to support the content. I am sure this is a bogus claim and I doubt Swami or IE have any classified documents with them. The article is based on eye-witness accounts across the LOC. Politically, the Congress, AAP and other similar elements were baying against ModiSarkar for action against Pak. But now that some action has been taken they are disturbed to find it is true and for the first time the Central govt has acted firmly. So what do the Congis do? They put out a grand claim that they too carried out surgical strikes. Somewhat laughable! Is this some kind of political competition?

And what kind of surgical strikes did the Congis carry out where they claim to have lost more Indian soldiers than Pak soldiers? This is absurd to say the least. Former DGMO Vinod Bhatia was quick to reject the Congi claims. He even stated there were no strikes at all. That is more plausible. Remember, it was Rahul Gandhi who grandly said his party “supported the BJP during Kargil”. As if the Congress was doing a big favour to a political party rather than standing with the country and our army. Other than these political and activists there are duffers in Bollywood who claim movies make people-to-people contact and improve relations. Enough of this sick nonsense! It improves nothing except fatten their wallets a bit more. That we have such pathetic people in this country should be a warning on how many battles the GOI and patriots have to fight. Take a look at this guy:

Indians will suffer? For not watching some stupid movie? I would rather the movie bombed and went into a severe loss for such stupid utterances by Bollywood creeps. And the guy writing that article is none other than a film distributor. So no matter what, he gives two hoots about dead soldiers or our army but issues stupid warnings about some dumb movie. While these anti-nationals are the ones that Pak relies on heavily to propagate their nonsense there is definitely something that our army too needs to learn. They issue statements to avoid posting sensitive information on SM but who is it they take along to sensitive territories with Jawans issuing statements when they shouldn’t be even talking to someone who has no interest other than presenting the Pak POV and has a dubious record of hailing terrorists like Burhan Wani:

Well, now if the terrorists didn’t get the idea yet then they can get it from Barkha’s tweet about using the Chenab river to carry out some terror attacks. Time and again Army allows Barkha to hobnob with the Jawans or even senior officers from our Armed forces escort her here and there at military programmes. This is a serious danger and journalists should stop being allowed anywhere near army or conflict zones. The GOI needs to be slammed for such acts of indiscretion and not for demands of evidence of Army strikes across LOC. The Indian Army is one of the finest in the world with great traditions and history. Any sane and reasonable Indian would put his or her faith in what the senior officials of the Army put out as public statements over conflicts and surgical strikes. Cartoonists say it well when they show who stands on whose side when it comes to Pakistan:

A lot more can be said about the anti-nationals who bat for Pakistan. What comforts me, is that our army is winning and that is all. The surgical strike in September cannot and should not be called “revenge”. It is not. It should be described as merely a small “retribution” for years of terrorism by Pak and should the need arise more strikes to follow till Pakistan comes to senses as also their stooges in India.
